Features and ideas for conducting field marriage registration

Exit registration is a very beautiful, romantic, heartfelt and solemn moment. A custom wedding gives the bride and groom more opportunities to make bold decisions. But without proper planning and organization, a wedding can turn into a torment and test, not only for the bride and groom, but also for the guests. And at the same time, it is very important to choose a suitable place for the ceremony, choose a single style for decoration and draw up several scenarios for the celebration. It is advisable to entrust most of the organization work to a professional team of wedding planners. But with a strong desire, the newlyweds can delve into the topic and create the perfect wedding on their own.

In recent years, off-site marriage registration has become a popular replacement for the traditional celebration at the registry office. Over the past five years, the number of couples in love choosing the European visiting ceremony has grown dramatically. Today, every third couple chooses a celebration in this format.

And not without reason, since it is the visiting ceremony that allows you to create a more calm and sincere atmosphere of the holiday, to avoid haste and city traffic jams, a large crowd of people and mass character. Free choice of place, date and time of the celebration is provided.

The celebration takes on a unique originality.

But with ignorance of some of the features, a substitution of concepts occurs.A description of the obvious advantages of off-site registration over a standard formal wedding would be incomplete without additional nuances. From a legal point of view, exit registration is not valid, because marriage can only be officially registered at the registry office. And during an off-site celebration, a kind of theatrical performance with the participation of the newlyweds is played out in front of the guests, where the role of the registrar is performed by a professional actor, and the lovers sign a symbolic certificate.

Formal registration of marriage involves the entry of information into the Civil Registry Book. And today it is possible to do this only in the registry office, since it is forbidden to take out the document outside the institution. Therefore, before the solemn exit registration, the newlyweds must officially register the marriage at the registry office. And only in this case the groom becomes the husband, and the bride becomes the wife.

But the law includes a number of grounds under which it is possible to officially register a marriage outside the registry office:

• if the bride and groom cannot come to the registry office for reasons beyond their control;
• if the bride or groom is in custody or hospitalized.

In other cases, when registering onsite, the newlyweds must pay the state fee and draw up official marriage documents. To do this, a month before the planned wedding, the lovers submit an application to the registry office or through the State Services website and choose the date for marriage.

But at the same time, the attributes of the holiday are still preserved: the newlyweds sign in the wedding hall, at this time musical accompaniment sounds, the registrar delivers a standard congratulatory speech. At the same time, the newlyweds can be dressed in everyday clothes, not invite relatives and friends with them, and not even exchange wedding rings.

After entering the signatures in the Book of Record of Acts, the lovers receive a certificate of official registration of marriage. It is advisable to register the marriage a few days before the ceremony, when the process of organizing the holiday will be at its final stage. And this day is the beginning of the couple's family life. But what day is considered a starting point: the date of official or solemn registration - the newlyweds can decide for themselves.

The difference between the official ceremony and the symbolic one is already discernible from the names. But before you give up on-site registration, you need to study all the pros and cons.

First of all, it should be said about the advantages of on-site registration.

• Lovers can choose any date, day of the week and time for the solemn registration. And at the same time, there will be no need to rush if the bride's fees take longer or force majeure occurs.
• Traditional marriage in the registry office has a standard scenario, while guests from two weddings are most often forced to huddle in one small hall, share a dressing room, etc., since on the days of solemn marriage registration, the registry office allocates about 20-30 minutes for each couple.
• Hence the problem with parking spaces near the city registry office. Not only relatives and friends are in a hurry to congratulate the newlyweds, but also friends, and it is rather difficult for guests from even one wedding to turn around in a small parking lot, not to mention a motorcade of 10 cars.
• Newlyweds have the opportunity to independently choose the framework and standards for the celebration. The time of the celebration and the duration of registration depend on this. And the ring exchange procedure can be made truly festive and romantic.

• There is no time limit at off-site registration - you can organize a buffet table for guests or go straight to the banquet hall for dinner.And if the newlyweds are late to the place of registration, and the guests have already gathered, then you can organize a buffet table even before the ceremony with aperitif drinks and snacks.
• The number of guests at an off-site celebration may not be limited. At the same time, invited relatives and friends during the wedding will not crowd in a small room. To do this, you can provide high chairs with beautiful covers, designed in the same style with wedding decorations.

The disadvantages of visiting symbolic marriage registration, although not numerous, present certain difficulties for newlyweds.

• Onsite registration is a well-rehearsed theatrical performance with an actor hired to allegedly register the marriage.
• Exit registration can be more expensive than a standard celebration.
• Places for an off-site celebration must be booked several months in advance.
• Preparing for an outdoor holiday requires more effort and time.
• When planning a wedding, the bride and groom always face certain challenges. And if the process of organizing an outdoor celebration entails a lot of work in terms of organizing and holding, then at the same time it opens up more opportunities for implementing bold ideas and creating the perfect wedding.

You can officially register a marriage in any city in Russia, as well as in foreign countries. Residents of the Russian Federation can officially marry in many countries, after which it will be necessary to translate and notarize the received marriage certificate. Official marriage registration is valid for Russians in countries of all continents, including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, Mexico, Fiji, Cuba, USA, as well as some countries in Europe and the CIS - and this is not a complete list. ...

In countries such as Egypt, UAE, Thailand and China, only symbolic marriage registration can be carried out. That is, the lovers will pronounce vows and exchange rings in a romantic setting, but it is necessary to officially register the marriage in Russia.

There are many reasons to choose another country for your wedding.

• Winter and autumn weddings can be held on the tropical coast under the palm trees in the hot Dominican Republic.
• The colors and traditions of weddings in other countries seem to be more attractive. In alluring Georgia, you can officially sign in the city of lovers Sighnaghi. It is here that you can register a marriage even at night, as in Las Vegas. Therefore, here you can embody the idea of ​​a beautiful evening official registration.
• The desire to hold a custom wedding and make vows of love and loyalty in the middle of the ocean on a large ship or yacht.

But when choosing a wedding abroad, you must carefully study the rules and regulations for filing documents and holding a ceremony. For example, in the Czech Republic, you can officially register a marriage at the city hall on certain days, while there will be no wedding paraphernalia within the walls of the building. The newlyweds will only sign the documents provided and receive a marriage certificate. And the banquet can already be held in a medieval castle or a stylized restaurant. In Sri Lanka, foreigners can get married only after they have lived in the country for 4 days, in the Seychelles - 11 days, and in France - 40 days.

After official registration, the received certificate must be translated into English and a special stamp - apostille applied. To do this, you will need to visit the consulate after the wedding or put an additional stamp at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.This procedure confirms that the marriage certificate has legal authority in all countries of the Hague Conference. After that, the entire package of documents is submitted to the registry office and to the passport office at the place of residence in order to obtain an official certificate from local authorities and put stamps in passports.

The entire procedure for getting a marriage abroad can seem time consuming. But if you wish, most of the work with the documents can be transferred to the wedding agency, in which case the newlyweds will not need to visit the consulates and put down additional stamps to legalize the marriage certificate.

An off-site celebration is a great way to celebrate your wedding in a beautiful and stylish way. The ceremony is not limited by time or place. A country estate, an abandoned church or a forest glade - all this can be a great place for a rustic wedding. A hayloft and a wooden staircase will be a good background. And you can organize a banquet in the warm season right in the open air.

Wedding agencies are ready to offer young couples several ready-made options for holding an outdoor celebration. And when planning a wedding in this format, there are a few things to consider.

• The venue for an off-site celebration should ideally match the style and comfort for both newlyweds and guests.
• The transport on which the newlyweds will arrive at the place of registration is selected taking into account the style of the wedding. It can be a car, a carriage, a boat or a helicopter - it all depends on the imagination and the financial component.
• Accommodation of guests. It is best to choose chairs for the seating of the guests during the ceremony.

• Decorations and wedding paraphernalia. To conduct an off-site ceremony, you will need to install an arch, complemented by flowers and ribbons, as well as lay a path for the passage of the bride and groom.
• Musical accompaniment is a very important part of the holiday. It is not necessary to use Mendelssohn's waltz for the newlyweds to walk on the carpet. And for the first dance, you can choose your favorite melody or a memorable song.
• The photo zone will be an excellent alternative in case of force majeure, for example, if it rains or the wind rises.
• After the solemn registration, it is a good idea to organize a small buffet for the guests, while the newlyweds take pictures with their relatives. Indispensable in this case are catering companies that are ready to offer small buffets or a gorgeous banquet menu in the format of catering.

Wedding celebrations on the street against the backdrop of picturesque nature look romantic and beautiful. In summer and warm autumn, a lake shore or a bright grove can be chosen for the venue. The venue of the ceremony can be memorable for the newlyweds: it is symbolic to seal the bonds of marriage at the place of acquaintance on the city embankment or in a favorite park. To do this, it is enough to install a beautiful arch with flowers, ribbons, airy fabrics and wedding paraphernalia. And in advance it is very important to coordinate the wedding with the administration of the park or district.

But the weather at a summer wedding can play a cruel joke on the newlyweds. And therefore, in case of rain, it is necessary to develop plan B in advance, which can be resorted to already on the wedding day. Off-site registration in the open air will need to be transferred to a closed room or provide a tent or mobile shed.This is the same necessary condition in case of a hot scorching sun or strong wind. It is not a bad idea to choose an area near a hotel or a banquet hall for a wedding, in which case it will not be difficult to transfer registration to a spacious and beautiful hall, and the ceremony will not lose its solemnity. The visiting ceremony will take about an hour and a half, and during this time the bride's hairstyle and the guests' mood can be ruined due to bad weather.

And in winter, you should choose a closed room in the bosom of nature or a banquet hall. In this case, it is not necessary to hold the ceremony away from the place of celebration.

When choosing a place for on-site registration, you should also consult with a photographer. When arranging all the necessary wedding attributes, such as an arch, a walkway and chairs for guests, it is also necessary to take into account the position of the sun and the amount of light during the celebration. If bright sunlight shines directly in the face of the newlyweds throughout the ceremony, then most of the photos will be unsuccessful.

A separate scenario is required for the exit of the bride and groom during the onsite registration. Moreover, all those invited to the wedding should already take their places. And in case of force majeure, it is necessary to consider several options.

When drawing up a scenario for the exit of the bride and groom, several points are taken into account.

• The first thing to think about is the timing of the ceremony. It is recommended to start planning in the afternoon, closer to the gala dinner, in order to leave time for taking memorable photos with the newlyweds and filming a video.
• How will the bride and groom appear before the guests: together or separately.
• Who will take part in the exit of the newlyweds. Friends and girlfriends can go out along the path in front of the bride and groom to incendiary music, and dad or grandfather can lead the bride to the arch for registration.

• Who will take out the rings. You can entrust this solemn and important moment to the bride's younger sister. In addition, the participation of children at a wedding always looks cute and impressive. But the rings can also lie on a decorated pillow on a table near the arch next to the presenter.
• Musical accompaniment (what kind of music will the newlyweds go to). For the release of friends, bridesmaids, bride and groom, you can choose different songs. Additionally, it is recommended to take care of a second flash drive with recorded tracks, just in case.
• The vows of the bride and groom are a very exciting and romantic addition to the ceremony. The newlyweds can prepare a speech in advance and read it from memory, or they can repeat the composed speech after the presenter. The second option is more entertaining than touching.
• The guest area is a very important moment at a wedding. The invitees will sit or stand to watch the ceremony. If space for off-site registration allows, then it is worth putting portable chairs for guests, since the off-site ceremony will take about an hour and a half.
• The buffet will help to keep the invited guests busy while they wait for the arrival of the newlyweds at the registration site.

Organization of on-site marriage registration will require a lot of effort and money. But if you entrust this work to a professional team of wedding organizers, you will not have to be nervous and control many moments, and then the bride and groom will get great pleasure from their own wedding.
